The CLAY TECHNOLOGY seminar brings together a broad spectre of expertise with know-how on clay resources and earthen architecture in the Scandinavian context, with the aim of discovering opportunities and barriers for further up-scaling in the building sector.

The seminar is organised by the Institute of Architecture at AHO and the studio Circular Prototyping, with collaborative partners Asplan Viak, Henning Larsen and FutureBuilt. The seminar is free and open to all, with no registration required. 

There will be served coffee, tea and light snacks. Lunch can be purchased in the AHO canteen or nearby shops and restaurants.
